Graham, many thanks. It's great to see some NF related ephemera. You often see all but the rarest of badges but there's something special about that old bit of paper or card that survives when most if not all others are long discarded.

Here's my sole bit of NF related paperwork. An unused card from WO's & Sgts 43rd (Northumberland) Royal Tank Regiment 6th City Bn. Royal Northumberland Fusiliers St. Georges Drill Hall Newcastle upon Tyne. Undated but pre 1952.
